Drop the Weapon

Everybody shouting, working up a sweat Stepping over lines, you know what happened next More trouble, than anyone can use It's a pre-determined thing, you lose your right to choose No way to turn it around You got no more time, no time to calm yourself down Once you press the button, man, it's coming to a head Pretty soon, babe, you'll be a long time dead Little brother, I'm telling you now Your pride can take a hit Little brother, take a deep breath Cool off, man, forget about it Drop the weapon Kick it away Drop your gun Look the other way Drop the weapon Live another day Drop your blade Listen to what I say Who you trying to impress? You making a bid To be a big shot brother, but you're just a small kid Now your reputation got a minor stain It'll be washed away by tomorrow's rain Little brother, I'm telling you now Your pride can take a hit Little brother, take a deep breath Cool off man, forget about it Drop the weapon Kick it away Drop your gun Look the other way Drop your weapon Live another day Drop your blade Listen to what I say No sound of silence Just streets of violence We're in overload Wrong side of the road Oh, San Francisco Where the hell did you go? We have enough of that Peace and love Drop the weapon Kick it away Drop your gun Look the other way Drop the weapon Live another day Drop your blade Listen to what I say No sound of silence Just streets of violence We're in overload Wrong side of the road Oh, San Francisco Where the hell did you go? We have enough of that Peace and love Come and hold my hand Then we can all stand And say a prayer To someone out there Anyone out there
